Hi,
I'm pretty new to the Pocket PC development world...
I've google'd a bit, but couldn't find any Pocket PC Game Engines... from what I could find, Pocket PCs run OpenGL ES? Are there any game engines that support it? the best would be an hybrid OpenGL on PC and ES on PPC.
Thanks for your time
Eric

PocketPC's don't have OpenGL ES, far as I know. While there might be some with 3D hardware in 'em, the vast majority are just a 2D framebuffer that you access by old fashioned DIBSections or GAPI (which is a small library to give you reasonably fast 2D framebuffer access).

As for engines, there are a few, mostly ports of Windows stuff. If you want 3D, your best bet is probably Doom and Quake, both of which have been ported to PocketPC.

If you want 2D, I know that SDL, GAPIDraw, WxWidgets, and Flash 6 all run on PocketPC's.
